I love Porcupine Campground! It’s a beautiful spot at the end of the road in Hope with easy access to trails.

Really nice campground. Very clean sites and facilities. Great hiking right from the campground, amazing views of Turnagain Arm and just down the road from Historic Hope town site.

Site was overgrown. We expected to be able to see or walk to the water as the previous photos showed. Instead the firepit and picnic table were surrounded with tall weeds and shrubs. It could have been much more fuun if the area was properly maintained. We booked two nights but only stayed one.

Well maintained campground, nice big sites, partial views of Turnagain Arm. Close to Hope. Trailhead to Gull Rock right in campground. Toilets VERY clean.

The only thing that could be changed is the table was not accessible on both sides because the foliage had grown up over it. We do like this camp spot because of the view.

The campground was great. Site #7 is a pull through and has a short trail down to a view of the water. There is no water access as there is a fence and drop off at the end of the site. The middle of the pull through was level and the site is close to one of the pit toilets.

We had an awesome week. We were celebrating our anniversary and always try to be in a campground for the occasion. We have Porcupine in our summer rotation and we were able to get our favorite spot. Couldn’t have been better.

You desperately need to trim around the campground especially the excessive cowparsnip. Many people don't know what it can do to them. There is ZERO view of the Turnagain Arm and that's why we came. We had 2 nights reserved and left a day early. Camp host was fabulous. Good job hiring him! Will give this review in other places as well
